McGraw was recently on Tennessee's campus for a visit and said the vibe was much different than that of an earlier visit to Knoxville.
"That just gave me a different standpoint from where I was at with Tennessee. My first visit wasn't too good. The new facilities were just being built and there wasn't much to offer," McGraw said. "Now, with the new coaching staff the enthusiasm the place was great, with new commits and everything.
"It's just a new vibe about them and a new swagger about them"
During his visit, McGraw was able to spend time with the head man in Knoxville, Butch Jones.
"Coach Jones is a great person and I go to talk to him a little when I visited and he told me I'm going to be a top player for my class and he said he can bring the best out of me and that's what I heard from his players," McGraw said. "He's really energetic dude. He can play around and can be serious."
